    That’s exactly the same case as Windows. The built-in photo/video players don’t support them out of the box, but do if you install the free codec from the store, or you can install any 3rd party players you like.

    There are lots of great things about Linux, but out of the box support for licensed video codecs isn’t magically better than Windows

      I am talking about the prompting “on install”. Its just add on install and everything works. That sounds like out of the box support for me
